The new Bennetts Suzuki team will make its MCE British Superbike debut this
weekend when Josh Waters and Christian Iddon line up on their GSX-R1000s for the
first time at the opening round at Donington Park.
The team has
completed a rigorous pre-season testing programme, culminating in a one-day test
at Donington Park last month. After working on a variety of different set-up
changes and gathering lots of useful data, the team and riders are ready to hit
the ground running in the opening free practice session tomorrow, Saturday.
Waters said, "I'm looking forward to getting going. Testing is good
after a long break and it's good to get back on the bike, but I'm excited for
the races now. We have a few issues to work on in practice, but we know what
they are and what direction we need to go in, so we'll get straight on to it. I
like Donington a lot. It's a famous circuit and it was good for me last year
when I started on pole for race two. I'm looking forward to the weekend and
we'll try our best."
Iddon said, "I can't wait for the weekend, it's
been too long without some racing. Donington is one of the tracks I enjoy the
most, I'm almost disappointed it's the first round as I want to save the best
ones until last! Testing on the whole was very good. The test at Guadix was
honestly the best time I've ever had on a road race bike. The Donington test
gave us some stuff to think about and we found a couple of areas we need to work
on, but the guys have gone away and looked at what needs doing. We have another
set-up ready to go in practice, so we'll analyse it, find the direction to go
in, and go from there. I'm looking forward to getting started now."
Team
Manager Jack Valentine added, "Everyone in the team is looking forward to the
weekend and getting the season underway now. We've had a good pre-season as a
new team, everyone has gelled really well and worked really well together. The
tests have gone well but now it starts for real. I'm looking forward to getting
started, getting the bikes on track, and working with Bennetts as our new title
sponsor."
The opening round of the 2015 British Superbike Championship
takes place at Donington Park on April 4-6th, with the first free practice
session getting underway at 10.15am on Saturday.
